  I will set the ball rolling by posting something healthy.
  A recipe for making soy-milk at home using soy beans. Soy milk is very affordable if made at home. A liter of soy milk if you buy it in the market ready-made costs 80 INR. In this method you could DIY for 12-13 INR at home. All you need is a blender/ mixer , soy beans and water.
  
  
  
  Soy milk is a healthy vegan and economic alternative to cow milk or buffalo milk.Other than calcium , it contains everything that milk contains.

  There is an interesting history behind the invention of Pao Bhaji.
  

  The origin of this dish is traced to the heyday of the textile mills in Mumbai. The mill workers used to have lunch breaks too short for a full meal, and a light lunch was preferred to a heavy one, as the employees had to return to strenuous physical labor after lunch. A vendor created this dish using items or parts of other dishes available on the menu. Roti or rice was replaced with pav and the curries that usually go with Indian bread or rice were amalgamated into just one spicy concoction, the 'bhaji'. Initially, it remained the food of the mill-workers. With time the dish found its way into restaurants and spread over Central Mumbai and other parts of the city via the Udipi restaurants.

  Such is the popularity of this dish, that it is common to find it on the menu of most Indian restaurants serving fast food in Asia (especially Singapore, Hong Kong), America, UK (London), Switzerland and elsewhere.

  Has anybody ever tasted 'Ponkh' - it is a Gujarati rural snack but I have also seen it in Vidarbha and MP.
  'Ponkh' is actually made by roasting fresh millet (Jowar) seeds . Then the roasted Jowar seeds are eaten as it is. A unique dish, simple stuff which poor farmers eat in rural India. But tastes really good.
  
  
  

  —the harvesting of tiny, emerald beads of young jowar called ponkh. The jowar is of a special variety that grows best—yes, you've guessed right—near Surat.
  
  Once you've eaten tender ponkh with three flavours of crisp sev, including the tantalisingly titled limbumarini (lime and pepper), tiny sugar balls and a tangy chutney made with the green garlic Surtis love, you'll never lust for bhelpuri again.
